Don't drive like an idiot and bag your car into the ground. Learn how to take care of your car, maintain it and maximize it's longevity rate. I bet there's a whole ton of people out there who complain that they make a crappy product but don't bother to even change the oil or get the required flushes.
Although I drive a Mazda, every North American car I've driven or had in the household has been absolutely fine. Drive properly and there's nary any big problems.

Luxury cars like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, etc, are widely considered to be high-performance cars with significant quality and longevity. However, the maintenance required and frequency of repair in these cars would shock people since everything is premium, special edition or high performance, yet surprisingly error prone and low quality.
My buddy spent more money on maintenance and repair issues in his relatively new BMW M3, than I have in my 02 Sunfire, and my previous car, an 88 T-Bird at least twice over.
